I thought I might show case this Project that the Qld Gov is building at the moment, It is most proably the most expensive Bikeway project in Australia . The Link which is on the edge of the CBD is costing $15.8million and is only 400 metres long! This works out to be $37 500 a metre. The link is due to be finished in july.

Yeah I know it seams alot for what it is. The only good side is it is only taking a year to construct.

Well there is no cycle lane, it is shared. I am morew worried about the Pea brained private school children using it taking up the hole path.

AS one of us is about to use this thing on a regular basis I thought I might put up an update on the progress of the useage of the Normanby cycle link. Current stated figures are 500 ped and 250 cycle movements a day. Certainly not a great figure as yet but it's better than nothing.

Oh we better put down the plus 1.

the numbers might be higher if there was not so much work on the northside. OH well.

I have seen BCC council minutes discussing investigating purchasing cycle/ped counters (not inductive loops which don't do peds or some carbon bikes) but was not aware that counters have been installed or that any data has been published.

Well maybe I should not of said released, maybe better of said that is what I have been told. So i will not say where the numbers came from but they are not to be doubted unless the counted in not functioning properly.

Oh good thanks for the info that the toowong roundabout crossing has begun.
I also can tell you how many movements are happening on the Green Schnoell Bridge. The figures I got last year were 1000 cyclist movements per day.

Thanks for the info on the Schonell Bridge - 1000/day! I have asked BCC/UQ/QTransport/Translink for that information in the past and have not been given access to it.

Is that about half as much as the Coronation Drive/Riverside bikepath? Interesting that comparison given that some of the Coro users would have switched to the Goodwill as the UQ-City distance via the Goodwill is about half that on the Coro.
